Wrong! The correct answer is December 16, 1903.
Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata's dream -- The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Mumbai -- was opened on December 16, 1903. It is said to have cost £500,000 -- or Rs 25 lakh -- then. Legend has it that J N Tata was taking a foreigner to a dinner in a hotel, but was stopped at the entrance by the doorman. The reason? Only Europeans were allowed in, not Indians. That rebuff was enough to make Jamsetji decide to build a grand hotel in India.
